Measure L Update
December 14, 2024
BREAKING: Disney has agreed to a $233 million settlement in the Measure L living wage case! As part of the settlement, cast members at the Resort will receive:
- 100% of their back wages, including overtime payments, minus the usual tax withholdings
- 10% interest on back wages and overtime pay
- 100% of 401(k) matching contributions Disney would have made based on the Measure L rates plus 10% interest
- Additional penalty payments
This settlement is the largest class action wage theft case in California history, and would not have been possible without cast members’ willingness to fight for what they deserve from Disney. Workers, our fellow unions, and community members, fought hard for Measure L, Anaheim’s minimum wage law, in 2018, so resort area workers who make the magic for guests from around the world would have a living wage.
Throughout these five years, we’ve shown we’re stronger together and when we are united we can ensure Disney workers are treated with dignity and are respected for their work.
This settlement agreement now goes to the court to get the judge’s approval. After that, members in the class will get an individual notice with the amount you will be receiving from the settlement. If there are no appeals from class members, payments are expected in about July 2025.
